Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

EK-Quantum Vector² XC3 RTX 3080/90 Backplate - Nickel is a CNC-machined retention backplate made from nickel-plated aluminum, designed to fit all EK-Quantum Vector² XC3 RTX 3080/3090 water blocks. The backplate spans the full length of the graphics card PCB, adding a finished aesthetic and providing passive cooling to the backside of the voltage regulation module (VRM) and the GPU core.

Advantages

The nickel-plated aluminum construction offers corrosion resistance and a refined appearance while the CNC machining ensures precise fit and alignment with EK-Quantum Vector² XC3 RTX 3080/3090 water blocks. By covering the entire PCB length, the backplate contributes to improved passive heat dissipation for VRM components and the GPU backside without requiring additional active cooling.

Suitable for

  • EK-Quantum Vector² XC3 RTX 3080 water block installations
  • EK-Quantum Vector² XC3 RTX 3090 water block installations
  • Custom liquid-cooled NVIDIA RTX 3080/3090 GPU builds requiring a full-length backplate

Key specifications

  • Material: Nickel-plated aluminum
  • Manufacturing: CNC machined
  • Compatibility: Fits EK-Quantum Vector² XC3 RTX 3080 and 3090 water blocks
  • Function: Full-length retention backplate providing passive cooling for VRM and GPU backside

How to use

Install the backplate as part of the EK-Quantum Vector² XC3 RTX 3080/3090 water block assembly following the manufacturer's installation procedure. Ensure the graphics card and water block are properly prepared, align the backplate with the card PCB and secure it using the hardware supplied with your EK water block kit. Confirm that contact points are secured but not over-torqued to avoid PCB damage.

Recommendations

Use this backplate only with compatible EK-Quantum Vector² XC3 RTX 3080/3090 water block assemblies. Verify compatibility with your specific GPU model and follow EK Water Blocks' installation instructions. Regularly check mounting hardware and cooling performance during routine system maintenance.
